Mt Rushmore of Cajun Position players

Papo
Debo
Conrad
Rocco
Lucroy

Nathan Nelson has to be on any all-time Cajun baseball team. The best team this program has produced was led by this guy. And dude was a hitting machine.

You’re right.

1. Kyle Debarge
2. Jonathon Lucroy
3. Carson Roccaforte
4. Papo Ramos

In that order

Nate Nelson and Jace Conrad would be the next 2 if we are expanding past the 4 that Mt. Rushmore has.

And there are SO many others guys that an argument could be made for. BJ Ryan would be one, and guys like Corey Coles. Coles was one of the best pitchers on the team (3.33 ERA over 3 years and 102 innings) and also had seasons of .368, 6 HRs, 45 RBIs and 24 SBs one year and .371, 9 HRs and scored 56 runs the next. He just played in a group of years that the team wasn’t as memorable as some of these others (2001-2003)

Doing a Mt. Rushmore for what guys accomplished after they played for the Cajuns is different than what they did while they were Cajuns.

Bako would likely be in the mix for a “Former Cajuns Mt. Rushmore”

Before those major league exploits, Bako helped lead UL to a pair of conference titles. He was the starting catcher as a freshman on that 1991 team and on the 1992 squad that won the Sun Belt Conference title and ranked in the top 30 nationally in pitching. He had his best offensive year the following season when he led the Cajuns in five different batting categories

Ken Meyers was the starting catcher in 1991. Bako had a couple of solid seasons as the starter in 92 and 93. He was a good college player, and being good defensively and hitting left handed propelled him to a long career as a journeyman MLB catcher.

Fun fact, at one time he was second in history for playing for the most different MLB teams. A couple have guys have surpassed that over the years.

You are by a far stretch my favorite poster on RP at this time. Don’t ruin that on this hill.

Somebody needs to support Louisiana, it’s players and coaches.
